The reparations legislation known as H.R. 40, which has the support of President Biden and the endorsement of Vice President Harris, is an anachronistic document. Reparations for Blacks has been achieved since the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, the establishment of President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society programs and the initiatives launched by his “War on Poverty.” These programs specifically targeted Black Americans and the recipients of tax dollars from the middle- and higher-income classes. Millions of government checks, representing tens of billions of dollars, were printed, mailed and cashed. As Stanford University economist Martin Anderson stated: “The most...

SALT LAKE CITY — Intermountain Healthcare doctors announced new mammogram guidelines Tuesday in response to a surprising new side effect of the COVID-19 vaccine. They say women who recently received a COVID-19 vaccine may have to reschedule their yearly mammogram. “When one receives a vaccination there is an inflammatory response in the arm,” said Dr. Brett Parkinson, medical director of Intermountain Healthcare’s Breast Care Center. In the past four weeks, doctors have seen swollen lymph nodes on screening mammograms of women who have recently been vaccinated. “Whenever we see these on a normal screening mammogram we call those patients back...

ne of the reasons the country should elect Joe Biden president, voters were told over and again last summer and fall, was that America needed to go back to the unexceptional days of B.T. – Before Trump. But if what we’ve seen so far is normal, then please give us the irregular, the unconventional, and the unorthodox. When Democrats and the media (do we always need to say here, “but we repeat ourselves”?) said Biden would lead us back to the political and social lives pre-Donald Trump, they meant more than just putting the pandemic behind us. They insisted...

VIDEOTrump Derangement Syndrome is so powerful that it can completely warp its victims into perceiving something that is the exact opposite of reality. Such an example came from a recent Washingtonian magazine article in which its liberal author thought she had a "gotchya" story exposing abuse by President Donald Trump and the management of his Washington, D.C. hotel, when in reality it exposed extreme, bordering on criminal, abuse by those who hate Trump.

One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass ?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass." "Well, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the lawyer said. "But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there eating grass under that tree." "Bring them along," the lawyer replied....

During his campaign, Joe Biden campaigned on “unity” and moderation. Weeks into his presidency, Biden has proven this is not the case with a flurry of job killing regulations and a $1.9 trillion partisan spending plan.As if this were not bad enough, Neera Tanden, President Biden’s pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), supports countless tax increases on American middle-class families including a soda tax, a carbon tax, a full repeal of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and increased Obamacare taxes.Each of these taxes would violate Biden's pledge not to raise a single penny of taxes...

Blonde men - well FINALLY, it just had to come sooner or later! A blonde man is in the bathroom, and his wife shouts: "Did you find the shampoo?" He answers, "Yes, but I'm not sure what to do... it's for dry hair, and I've just wet mine. A blonde man spies a letter lying on his doormat. It says on the envelope "DO NOT BEND." He spends the next 2 hours trying to figure out how to pick it up. A blonde man shouts frantically into the phone, "My wife is pregnant, and her contractions are only two minutes...

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to reject the review of two 2020 Pennsylvania presidential election cases Monday, but Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas believe they should have been given hearings.

A Supreme Court case focused on a comedy routine mocking a disabled teenager could help shape the limits of free speech — and humor — in Canada.About a decade ago, the comedian Mike Ward, of Quebec, mocked the voice of a well-known disabled teenage singer in a standup routine, roasting him for being off-key, making fun of his hearing aid and calling him “ugly.” But he said he had defended the boy to others because he would soon die. When the teen didn’t die of his illness, the comedian joked, he tried to drown him. This past week, the question...

With 50-50 split, the West Virginia Democrat's votes on minimum wage, controversial nomination are crucial for Biden. =========================================================== Here's the current power structure in Washington: 1. President Joe Biden 2. Vice President Kamala Harris 3. Sen. Joe Manchin Manchin — considered the most conservative Democrat in the Senate — hails from West Virginia, where then-President Trump won in 2020 by a landslide, 68.6% to 29.7%. That means with every Senate vote, Manchin will be torn between his party and his constituents — and voters usually win those battles. His own party is already putting the senator in a tough position....

Senator Mitt Romney voiced his opposition Monday to confirming Neera Tanden, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget. “He believes it’s hard to return to comity and respect with a nominee who has issued a thousand mean tweets,” a spokesperson for Romney said to reporters.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a reportedly notorious progressive donation mill, has issued a detailed explanation as to why the group is easing up on anti-LGBT, misogynistic, and anti-Semitic black separatist groups on its detailed hate map. Despite all the hate that black separatists openly preach. Equity Through Accuracy: Changes to Our Hate Map was published by the SPLC's Intelligence Project, which publishes the Intelligence Report magazine (I reject this opportunity to make the predictable quip at this time). The SPLC, a liberal activist group that came under criticism two years ago in a New Yorker magazine report that suggested...

Finding the perfect parking spot is the bane of every driver’s existence and but sometimes the desire for the closest spot can put others in danger. You’ve seen it, people illegally parking in front of fire hydrants for easy access, but firefighters are teaching these inconsiderate parkers that this is a matter of life and death. Yesterday New York firefighters had to smash a car’s windows as it was blocking a fire hydrant. The driver was also given a ticket by the New York Police Department. The video has been viewed more than 90,000 times and has sparked a debate...

Martha Stewart, the actress and singer best known for her supporting turns opposite Joan Crawford in Daisy Kenyon and alongside Humphrey Bogart in In a Lonely Place, has died. She was 98. Stewart died Wednesday, her daughter Colleen Shelley reported on Twitter. "The original Martha Stewart left us yesterday," she wrote.

Joe Biden has accused military veterans and retired police officers of so-called “white supremacy” in a grievous insult to servicemen and women.“The impact of former military, former police officers, on the growth of white supremacy in some of these groups…it is a bane on our existence…these guys and woman are, in fact, demented,” he stated during a CNN Town Hall. ... In that same interview, Biden falsely labeled patriotic groups as “domestic terrorists” while ignoring the threats posed by groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter.

The first data on the UK Covid vaccine rollout suggests it is having a "spectacular" impact on stopping serious illness, researchers say.Within weeks, one shot reduces the risk of being admitted to hospital by at least three-quarters for the over 80s.Researchers said this was particularly impressive as this age group was the most frail and least likely to have a strong immune response.Monitoring of health staff also shows vaccination helps cut transmission.
